WARNING Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources are disconnected from
the server before removing or installing server hardware unless you are removing or
installing a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever a dc power
source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is
turned off.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can snag or catch on the server or on other items.
• Do not wear clothing subject to static charge build up, such as wool or synthetic materials.
• If installing an internal assembly, wear an antistatic wrist strap and use a grounding mat, such as those
included in the Electrically Conductive Field Service Grounding Kit (HP 9300-1609).
• Handle accessory boards and components by the edges only. Do not touch any metal-edge connectors or
any electrical components on accessory boards.
